Senior Member Cam Simmons MD ABHRS Posted June 11, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2011 This 25-year-old man was balding in a Norwood 3A pattern but thinning in a Norwood 4 pattern. His hair was dark brown and average in diameter. At his first consultation in 2009, he started Finasteride and Minoxidil. A year later, his front was unchanged but his crown was clearly better. He decided to have hair transplantation for the front. Although young men would often prefer lower, fuller hairlines like their peers, he accepted the importance of long-term planning. If he stops using the medications or they stop working, he faces many more years of potential hair loss. We transplanted 3245 FUGs in his frontal area in one session from a mature, conservative hairline that would allow for ageing and future hair loss. His donor strip was removed from within the safest donor zone and he had a routine trichophytic 2-layer closure. A year after his hair transplant, he is very happy with the improvement from his hair transplant in front and his medical treatment in back. Hopefully the medications will work for a long time but he is prepared to have more hair transplantation, if and when he does lose more hair.

Senior Member Cam Simmons MD ABHRS Posted July 11, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2011 Amazing what the meds did to the crown area.He looks completely different now. Good job doc Thanks everyone for your kind words. We can't count on medications when we design hair transplants because patients may not take them forever (or they may not stop hair loss.) However, medications and hair transplantation together can make a great combination.
